Victor Davis Hanson: Trump Is Preparing for the Final Phase Against Iran https://youtu.be/h1ggr3HvyS4?si=hsWNEyDgMoQaB8ND For nearly 140 days, the conflict with Iran has shifted from direct military action to negotiations and limited exchanges, leaving key objectives unresolved. Missile attacks on Gulf states continue, the Strait of Hormuz remains contested, and questions remain about Iran's enriched uranium and nuclear capabilities. Iran has sought to prolong the conflict until after the midterm elections, while President Trump is under pressure to conclude military operations without preventing Iran from rebuilding its military strength. The latest strikes have become more aggressive, remaining military targets are identified, responsibility for securing the Strait of Hormuz is shifted to regional allies, and Iran's decision to avoid attacking Israel despite continuing attacks across the Gulf highlights Israel's deterrence and military advantage.

Fraudsters Used Dead People’s Identities, Stolen SSNs, Other Scams to Collect Billions in Medicaid, Food Stamps, Report Finds https://www.dailysignal.com/2026/07/17/fraudsters-used-dead-peoples-identities-stolen-ssns-other-scams-to-collect-billions-in-medicaid-food-stamps-report-finds/?_bhlid=147f266811968b8519af59f69bfa14e828347d9d Fraudsters using stolen Social Security numbers and dead people’s identities have collected millions from Medicaid and food stamps, a watchdog revealed in a new report first shared with the Daily Signal. In one case, a Social Security number was tied to 15 employers across 14 states in a single three-month window, according to the report by the Foundation for Government Accountability. There is currently no federal requirement for states to verify who someone is before they enroll in Medicaid or the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, also known as SNAP or food stamps, the foundation notes.

Trump Says China Illicitly Obtained 220 Million US Voter Files Since 2020 Election https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/trump-says-china-stole-220-million-us-voter-files-in-2020-post-6063174?src_src=Morningbrief&src_cmp=mb-2026-07-17&est=EeiQh%2BBIKLfUNOYJtX7nwQOBJePRsUNU%2B25FPJfToSK0Qh9wO%2FHH%2B2FkEc5bHQ%3D%3D WASHINGTON—President Donald Trump, in a primetime address on July 16, announced the declassification of information that he said reveals large-scale Chinese hacking of American voter information. “Over a period of years, starting during the 2020 election cycle, the People’s Republic of China carried out what is believed to be the largest compromise of election data in history, resulting in China’s illicit acquisition of 220 million U.S. voter files,” he said. “That information includes names, addresses, phone numbers, political party preferences.” An accompanying transparency report from the White House stated that China gained access to voter roll data across 18 states. One declassified document reviewed by The Epoch Times detailed a PRC-linked actor’s alleged use of commercial websites to acquire voter data from six U.S. states. Trump further said that members of the intelligence community sought to suppress data on China’s attempt to influence American elections. In addition, Trump detailed the findings of an investigation from the Department of Homeland Security that showed 278,000 noncitizens were registered on American voter rolls. That analysis did not include blue states, according to Trump. Those states have fought against the Trump administration’s election security efforts, joining together in a lawsuit to prevent the president from obtaining voter information from them so as to compile a national list of eligible voters. “These disclosures reveal an election system so broken and so vulnerable that no one can possibly defend it. It is not defensible,” Trump said. “Tens of millions of voters’ data in 18 states have been bought, stolen, or hacked by China. Yet those responsible for sounding the alarm instead kept the information secret and hidden.”

I SNUCK INSIDE the SECRET Dover Migrant Processing Facility… What I Saw SHOCKED Me. https://www.youtube.com/live/STOh8lxySGo?si=cBX1oXLSk_704f3K https://youtu.be/STOh8lxySGo Small boats are STILL pouring across the Channel over 41,000 arrivals in 2025 alone, the second highest on record. That's billions in taxpayer money going on hotels, processing, and support while local communities in Kent get left to deal with the chaos. This is raw, unfiltered footage from inside the facility where they bring them after landing at Dover. The lines, the processing, the reality on the ground that the mainstream media won't show you properly. How did I get in? What actually happens when the Border Force boats dock? And why is this crisis still happening in 2026 with no end in sight? Watch till the end, this will shock you. Drop a comment: Should we be stopping the boats at sea? Should this stop NOW?
